GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Teachers are pretty good, but there is very little English support throughout the school. Middle school students are behind, compared to other schools. The HR department is incompetent, along with the deans role in the school. I have never seen the executive director walking around the school unless she was giving a tour or trying to impress other adults. Poorly ran school that I would never send my kid to.

The staff are not paid as highly as other public schools, but they are there because it’s a special place, and they want to be there...
